Yoga on Union is historic downtown New Bedford's favorite little yoga spot. For the last 5 years we opened a satellite studio at the Stone Barn Farm in South Dartmouth.

The partnership of Yoga on Union and MassAudubon Allen's Pond is what has been made to bring you these extra special yoga classes, events and retreats.
Practice inside a clean restored 200 year old stone barn amid the beauty of the real landscape of South Dartmouth.

We can't wait to see your smiling faces for 2017!

With Jennifer Risio, Randi Arruda, and John Montano
Saturday mornings are all a spark this summer at the Stone Barn. Jenn
and Randi will be there primarily and they will lead a fun flowy class
that’ll be sure to light up and start your weekend! Open to all levels
of practice, this style (vinyasa flow) is about movement and the
nature of your breathing. John will be there on occasion to spice up
the menu with the unique style of the Kundalini Yoga practice. It is
an accessible (open to all), introspective, interesting and stimulating
way of exploring your energy.

Classes start May 28th. Runs through September

With Christian Kline, Mege Posner, and Larissa Brum
Sundays classes, mellow but strong. Come learn the art of slowing down
but staying focused and engaged! Christian brings to the Hatha classes
a decade of experience in teaching and loves to work in the nature of
repetition and meditation. Mege, also, over a decade of Iyengar Yoga
teaching and studying brings those distinct teachings of alignment of
body, breath, and learning. Larissa has experience in the slow and
methodical way of building poses and that experience makes her classes
sweet and steady.

Juliet & Andrea are happy to share this event for its third year running! It's a yoga workshop blending all the elements of good solid practice that can fit any level, followed by a gathering over food (read -potluck) and an opportunity to expand community. Their styles in teaching and approach to yoga are similar and which are very informed by rigorous focus, alignment, practical application and humor.
The Stone Barn offers a warmth and serenity that is appreciated by practitioners of yoga. Come share in this special celebration of practice and friendship!

Most definitions of Meditation are confusing. It could be this or that or the other, but what is clear is the science that states that meditation can effect blood pressure, depression, and anxiety. Yoga has benefits that are similar in improving our mental and physical state. And in this specialty class, they come together full circle in a way that might feel well rounded.

You will learn how to prepare for seated meditation practice by warming up with yoga postures and also how to sync with the meditative experience which can be cultivated during your practice yoga. Christian will teach and guide you to understand more about each and the great benefits both can have on your day to day life. Join in on this cheerful yet introspective experience and round out the summer with some wellness!

Christian started meditation in his 20’s with Zen Buddhism, from there he has wandered into several sorts of meditation types. He has settled on a simple practice of watching his thoughts and breathing. He has found that the simple act of committing to sitting and meditating consistently changes his outlook, and mood. Christian has been teaching yoga for 9 years. His approach is through work with your body you can help calm your mind.

Come enjoy the experience of gong vibrations and celebrate the first day of summer at the Stone Barn!

Come enjoy the experience of gong vibrations and celebrate the first day of summer at the Stone Barn!
A gong bath is like a very deep and lasting massage, that tunes the physical body and soul to the greatest possible resonance. Usually individuals lie on a mat in Savasana (flat one one's back with your arms by your side) to receive the sound energy of the gong as it is being played, moving through the nervous system - opening, clearing and recharging the body, mind and spirit, which triggers a meditative, contemplative state in which you have the opportunity to relinquish thoughts and relax. Negativity and stress are suspended, resistance cleared and the you are "reset" to a state of synchrony and alignment. Bring warm blankets and pillows. wear warm clothing it's chilly in September.

This is a vibrant experience that is intelligently planned out for the
yoga practitioner who has a desire to be challenged and encouraged,
who uses their own intuition and self inquiry on how to moderate &
explore the intricacies of an advanced class. There is limited
instruction and lots of layers. It is a healthy full-bodied
experience!
Pre-Requisites are Handstand (at wall), Urdvha Dhanurasana (wheel
pose) and must have a loose grip on a daily practice.
It's going to be something very special. If you are interested but
have some questions, please contact Juliet at juliet@yogaonunion.com
